Lapidary - cutting, shaping, and polishing rough stone material into a cabochon, which is a rock with a flat base surface and round top.

BENCH PIN

In many of my designs, I juxtapose different metals with precious gemstones, minerals, and cabochons. I love to experiment with texture and visual elements such as color pattern, depth, iridescence, luminosity, shape, and symbolic significance.

Metals are the medium for my artistic expression because they are both tactile and versatile.
